Memphis Demphis is not as good as he thinks he is, according to Harry Redknapp.

The Manchester United winger has been a disappointment at Old Trafford since his transfer from PSV Eindhoven last summer for £23million.

The Dutchman scored his first goal in three months in United’s 2-1 midweek Europa League defeat at Midjytlland but Redknapp regards him as one of a number of players who have failed to justify the huge team investment in the last two years.

The former Tottenham and Southampton manager is unimpressed by the squad that has been assembled by Louis van Gaal at the cost of around £250million.

“Where do United go with that team now? All that money spent on average players. Memphis Depay thinks he’s way better than he is, so they tell me, and Anthony Martial has been no world-beater either,” Redknapp wrote in the Telegraph.

“Apart from the goalkeeper, I can’t see any world-class players and if David de Gea decides to up sticks this summer then they will be in a right mess.”
